Recent years have witnessed a substantial increase in the interest in violence occurring at home or school, as well as in neighborhoods. Yet, there is no standardized instrument to measure community violence in Turkey. Thus, the present study aimed to adapt the Exposure to Recurring Community Violence Scale into Turkish and explore its psychometric properties. The sample consisted of 210 participants (57% were females) between 18 and 64 years (Mage = 38.33, SD = 10.67). For criterion‐related validity, we evaluated the participants' scores on the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), the Traumatic Life Events Form, the Relationship Quality Scale, and a Demographic Information Form. We performed all statistical analyses using the FACTOR and SPSS v.20 programs. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 2‐factor structure for the scale (victimization and witnessing), explaining 52% of the total variance. As expected, the witnessing and victimization scores were correlated with the subscales of the BSI, the number of traumatic life events, and the subscales of The Relationship Quality Scale. For reliability concerns, we calculated Cronbach's α coefficients to be 0.79 for the victimization and 0.90 for the witnessing. Besides, the findings revealed acceptable psychometric properties for the Turkish version of the Exposure to Recurring Community Violence Scale. Thereby, we concluded that the scale can be used as a reliable and valid measure in the Turkish context. Overall, the scale will likely allow further research to scrutinize the risk factors and consequences of community violence.

“…On the other hand, childhood trauma is an unhealthy environmental factor imposed on individuals by parents or caregivers, and children in this environment may form problems such as poor interpersonal trust and learned helplessness; thus, they likely adopt NC styles, such as smoking, alcohol abuse, drug dependence or NSSI to release and compensate for the emptiness and insecurity in their hearts. 11 , 24 , 27 , 28 Therefore, the study formulated hypothesis 2: Coping style will serve as a mediator between childhood trauma and NSSI (childhood trauma → coping style → NSSI).…”

Purpose Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is related to childhood trauma, negative life events, and coping style, but the interaction among these factors and the mechanism by which they interact in adolescents with depressive disorder remain unclear. This paper explores how these factors interact to influence NSSI and provides evidence to develop prevention efforts and interventions for adolescents with depressive disorder with NSSI. Patients and Methods A cross-sectional design and convenient sampling method were used in this study. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist, Trait Coping Style Questionnaire, and Adolescent Nonsuicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire were completed by 540 adolescents with depressive disorder. Descriptive analysis, chi-square tests, t -tests, Pearson correlations, and serial mediation analyses were used in the data analysis. Results A total of 398 (79.442%) adolescents with depressive disorders reported experiences of NSSI. The results of serial mediation analyses determined that childhood trauma has a direct (estimate = 0.209, 95% CI: 0.063, 0.334) and indirect (estimate = 0.271, 95% CI: 0.199, 0.371) impact on NSSI. The indirect impact of childhood trauma on NSSI through negative life events alone (estimate = 0.096, 95% CI: 0.007, 0.169), coping styles alone (estimate = 0.088, 95% CI: 0.034, 0.183), and negative life events on coping styles (estimate = 0.086, 95% CI: 0.042, 0.162) was significant. Conclusion This study demonstrates that screening for childhood trauma should be considered when preventing and treating NSSI behavior in adolescents with depressive disorder. Managing negative life events and coping style may mitigate the negative impact of childhood trauma on NSSI behavior in adolescents with depressive disorder.

“…The study showed that boys had a higher score of "pointing to emotional response" than girls. It may be that girls' psychological development is earlier than boys', making them more rational and mature than boys in dealing with examinations and other problems (Yılmaz, Aksel, & Thompson, 2016). In the ethnic areas of Qinghai Province, the "patriarchal" ideology is still more serious.…”

Background: To provide a theoretical basis for formulating effective measures to relieve test anxiety, we understand the current situation of examination anxiety and coping styles of middle school students from different ethnic groups. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling survey was conducted on 251 junior middle school students in a middle school in Minhe County, Qinghai Province, using the middle school students' test anxiety factors questionnaire (IFTAS) and the middle school students' coping styles scale (CSS). Results: 1) Increasing the grades and ages, the score of different nationalities of middle school students' test anxieties were higher(F = 4.795, P < 0.05; F = 2.468, P < 0.05); 2) The middle school students' coping style of "pointing to the problem" had statistical significance among grades (F = 6.673, P < 0.05).3) "Pointing to emotional response" had statistical significance among the genders in the middle school students (t = 2.421, P < 0.05). 4) An analysis of the correlation between test anxiety and coping styles among middle school students showed that the relationship between self-esteem and emotional response was highest (r = 0.395, P < 0.01). 5) The gradual regression analysis of test anxiety and coping style of junior high school students show that "escaping", "seeking social support" and "endurance" were the factors of anxiety of exam in junior high school students. Conclusions: Different national middle school students' test anxiety problems more serious, and most middle school students use "escape" and "seeking social support", "patience" approach. We should guide students to produce the correct coping style.
